Dave...not sure about the spanish wiring/connections but it will work if you connect the same coulours on your wiring to the same ports on the slave and the master socket..in the uk the only 3 ports you need are 2,5 and 3

Probably only needs 2 wires.

Do you have "RJ11" sockets there - Wikipedia says you do ?
The phone line will be on the middle two contacts of the plug, most likely also the middle two terminals.

So most likely all you need is one pair of wires (by convention, the blue pair is the first) using the same terminals on the existing socket and the new one. You'll have 3 pairs left over (orange, green, and brown) - just coil up the spare in case you ever need it and tuck it away inside the box.
